M: Tell me Mrs. Evans, how did you come to be a bearded lady?
W: Well, it all began when I started growing a beard.
M: When was that exactly?
W: Just after my fourth birthday, I believe.
M: Really? As early as that? Didn’t you see a doctor?
W: Oh yes, my parents took me to dozens of specialists. And they just told me to shave.
M: That’s all the advice they could give? So you started shaving?
W: Well, I was too young to be allowed to use a razor, and electric razors weren’t even thought of in those days, so my dad used to shave me once a week before going to church on Sundays.
M: And when did you stop shaving?
W: Oh, that would have been when I was around fifteen. You see it was growing at an enormous rate, something like five inches a day, I mean you could almost see it growing, and it was so thick. I mean a razor or scissors were no use.
M: So you...let it grow?
W: Well, it was taking so much time trying to keep it down and I was just wasting my time fighting a losing battle. So I thought...I’ll just let it grow...and that’s when I came to work in the circus. I was spotted by a talent scout.
M: Do you...ever cut your beard now?
W: Oh, yes. Every week I chop off a few feet. I have to cut it off. I fall over it if I don’t remember to wrap it around my waist.
M: What about the circus? How did you find it at first, being stared at all day?
W: Well, I must admit it was a bit un-nerving at first...with people gazing at you as though you were a goldfish in a bowl. I used to feel like saying,"it’s all right, dear, just a bit of extra hair." You get used to the pointing and laughing in the end. Don’t hardly notice it any more. Even the jokes don’t upset me now.
M: Would you say there were any advantages to having a fifteen-foot-long beard?
W: Well, my husband says it keeps his toes warm on cold nights.
